I feel like I’m just surviving everyday and I’m just so full of anger and coffee. I don’t know how to just accept things as they are and move on. It feels like I’m stuck in my anger.
Thank you all! I needed this!
I was thinking this one maybe a slide, or something bouncy?
My toddler is constantly moving, constantly needing me, constantly getting frustrated. The whole day feels like a race to bedtime. I wake up already wondering: how am I going to get through today? how do I keep him entertained? what do I do with him until bedtime?
He gets upset over everything lately: diaper changes, wiping his nose, putting clothes on, trying to get him to sleep
He’s also getting stronger, so when he’s upset he fights everything physically. And when he’s tired, instead of calming down he wants to run around even more. By nighttime I’m exhausted too, but I’m basically running around trying to tire him out because he refuses to settle even when he’s clearly sleepy.
I feel guilty even saying this because I love him deeply, but I am so tired. I don’t even feel like I have energy to do anything important. Sometimes all I want is to shower, sit down, or just have a moment where someone else is responsible for him.
And mentally I feel burnt out too. Even when I technically have time, I end up watching shows because emotionally I need the distraction and comfort. Then I feel guilty because I should be doing something productive.
I think what’s hardest is the nonstop nature of it. The crying, impatience, moods, constant touching, constant movement, constant needing me. I don’t feel like a person anymore sometimes.
Does this get easier? Especially for parents who are doing most of the childcare alone?
I plan to take him to go have breakfast or any other meals. But I’m nervous and I’m not too sure what to bring besides a cover for the booster chair they offer and some toys too?
It feels like everything is just annoying him and no amount of toys keeps him busy or entertained. I keep getting more stuff and taking him for walks and indoor playgrounds which is the only thing that really keeps him busy.
But there are days when we can’t go anywhere like right now when his allergies are horrible. I try to do water play, he tries to drink it and he’s still at the put everything in my mouth age so I have to be careful what I let him have too.
Honestly I’m at my wits end and I just feel I’m not enough and nothing is for him.
He literally thinks he doesn’t have to parent or be an adult.
The scene where he was talking about how the separation is affecting him, he said his bedtime routine before separation was he’d take a bath and just go look at the kids.
And it made me so mad because her bedtime routine involved so much more responsibilities as a mom and wife. Which is all their marriage was about, he took a backseat to the adulting in the home. He’d look shocked if she asked for help with kids or the home.
Just really dislike the guy
They are asking for very sensitive information here
Been pondering the following topics and its meaning. Can you give your answers to these questions above?
When I was pregnant with my baby, I had hyperemesis, and when I arrived at the ER, the attendant asked me what the condition was, and I had to spell it on a piece of paper for her.
Also, let’s touch on how many times I went to the ER, was admitted, and how many medications they prescribed over and over until they found a medication that worked for me at 8 months. I had already had a hellish pregnancy, and at the end is when I get help, and only because I met with a different doctor who told me that they can escalate the matter. She told me there are medications that exist besides what I’d been given if my condition is as bad as I’m describing.
So you’re telling me that they didn’t think I was sick enough, which is why they were giving me “mild” medications? She gave me the right one, and I was able to not throw up at least 8 times a day. I couldn’t keep my job!
Do I have to be screaming and being hysterical to be believed? I looked like a ghost!
Then let’s talk about this pelvic pain I’ve had for a while. First they say it’s fibroids, then it’s pelvic floor dysfunction. Which is it???!! It hurts to pick up my baby.
Also, when I had mastitis and went to the ER, after the doctor told me what was wrong, he and the nursing student stepped into the hallway, only for her to express her disappointment that it wasn’t something more serious.
I am scheduling a second opinion at a new facility soon.
